961 Copenhagen psychosocial questionnaire-3(copsoq-3): turkish validation study

Abstract

(n=122) was measured in whole blood via LC-MS/MS. Data were analysed with a one-Way ANOVA. Results We found statistically significant differences in maternal global DNA methylation (p=0.008) and global DNA hydroxymethylation (p=0.004) at 20 weeks of pregnancy. Post hoc tests revealed that global DNA methylation and global DNA hydroxymethylation level was significantly lower when the mother had an intellectual/scientific/artistic profession (6.36% and 0.13%) as opposed to being a manager (7.77%, p=0.007% and 0.22%, p=0.002) or administrative staff (7.71%, p=0.003% and 0.2%, p=0.005). No significant differences between different working groups were found for global DNA (hydroxy)methylation in the first and third trimester of pregnancy and at delivery. Conclusion The mother's occupation was associated with maternal global DNA (hydroxy)methylation levels only in the second trimester of pregnancy. The change in maternal global DNA (hydroxy)methylation in the second trimester of pregnancy could be due to hormonal changes during pregnancy, a shift in the one-carbon metabolism in the middle of pregnancy, but based on these results we also have to take into account maternal occupational exposure.

“…A amostra apresentou uma alta prevalência de indivíduos do sexo masculino. Entende-se que homens e mulheres são distintos em relação à ocorrência de dor, especialmente na região dos ombros, costas e pescoço (Silva et al, 2016). Além disto, diversos fatores podem mediar tal associação, como o tempo de serviço associado a dores em coluna vertebral (Leite et al, 2016), o gênero, idade, controle sobre o trabalho, demandas psicológicas, suporte social e estresse, associados às dores em membros superiores nos trabalhadores da indústria calçadista (Leite et al, 2016;Silva et al, 2016).…”

“…A cada estabelecimento termal foi dirigido um inquérito previamente validado por peritos na área da saúde, geologia e ambiente. Este questionário é composto por 2 secções principais nas quais se incluíram os parâmetros mais importantes na exposição ocupacional (Silva, 2016): i) identificação e caracterização das condições de funcionamento do estabelecimento termal e ii) caracterização das instalações. Na primeira secção são abordadas questões relacionadas com a caracterização da época termal, horário de funcionamento, a caracterização dos trabalhadores: género, antiguidade no posto de trabalho, rotatividade, e número de termalistas por ano.…”

“…É ainda efetuado o levantamento das características dos equipamentos usados nos tratamentos terapêuticos. Para a avaliação da concentração de radão no ar interior foram utilizados os detetores CR-39, pequenos dispositivos inseridos dentro de câmaras de difusão, (4.5 cm de altura, de 2 cm de diâmetro) por períodos de exposição entre 25 e 45 dias (Silva et al, 2016).…”

Social and Work-Related Factors on Employment Status of Coronary Heart Disease Patients

“…All chronic diseases were covered by the question 'Do you have any other chronic diseases diagnosed by a doctor?'. Psychosocial risk factors (quantitative demands at work, influence at work, control over working time, meaning of work, commitment to the workplace, social support, and job satisfaction) were evaluated using dimensions of the valid and reliable Turkish version of the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire (COPSOQ) (14).…”

Relationship between work‐related psychosocial factors and self‐leadership in advanced nurse practitioners: A cross‐sectional study

“…The Cronbach's alpha coefficients for the individual COPSOQ III scales were as follows: influence at work ( α = .72), commitment to the workplace ( α = .85) and work engagement ( α = .80). COPSOQ III has been validated for use across a range of work sectors (Burr et al, 2019; Sahan et al, 2018), and previous research has validated its individual scales (Nübling, 2005). Berthelsen et al (2020) evaluated the reliability and construct validity of the COPSOQ III Swedish national standard version and found Cronbach's alphas above .70 for all scales indicating satisfactory levels of reliability.…”
